Student Support for 22nd International Symposium on Mathematical Programming; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; 12-17 July 2015

该奖项的目的是为参加将于2015年7月12日至17日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行的第22届国际数学规划研讨会的美国院校学生提供经济支持。这个研讨会由数学优化学会每三年组织一次，涵盖了数学优化的几乎所有方面。其目标是为那些可能无法参加的学生提供部分旅行和当地费用支持。这个奖项的成功之处是，它将为学生提供一个参加重要会议的机会，而这些会议在美国举行的时间不到50%。由于涵盖的主题的多样性以及与会者的地理来源，这次会议特别吸引人。学生们对参与有浓厚的兴趣，因为最新的和热门的研究都是展示的，并且有可能与兴趣相似的研究人员建立联系并向他们学习是一个重要的机会。

The objective of this award is to provide financial support for students at US institutions to attend the 22nd International Symposium on Mathematical Programming to be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 12-17 July 2015. This symposium is organized every three years by the Mathematical Optimization Society and spans virtually all aspects of mathematical optimization. The goal is to provide partial travel and local expenses support to students who otherwise might not be able to attend.Successful outcome of this award is that it will provide an opportunity for students to attend an important conference that is held in the US less than 50 percent of the time. The conference is a particularly attractive one, due to the diversity of the covered topics as well as the geographical provenance of the attendees. Students have a strong interest in participating, as very recent and topical research is presented, and the possibility to network with and learn from researchers whose interests are similar to theirs is an important opportunity.
